What Makes Us the Right Choice?

Not all personal injury lawyers have the experience necessary to take on medical malpractice cases. These claims involve understanding intricate medical records, working with expert witnesses, and going up against hospitals and insurers with vast legal resources. The reality is: in a complex medical malpractice case, the only experience that matters is experience in other medical malpractice cases.

Dr. Bruce G. Fagel has handled more medical malpractice cases than any other medmal attorney in California. He is a licensed physician as well as an attorney and has recovered over $1 billion on behalf of victims of medical negligence. In just the last two years, he has settled over 40 catastrophic injury cases, recovering more than $100 million for children and adults alike.

What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can take many forms, including:

It’s not enough for a patient to suffer an unfortunate outcome – there must be proof that the injury was due to negligence. A skilled Pasadena malpractice lawyer will help gather medical records, consult expert witnesses, and demonstrate how the provider’s conduct deviated from the expected standard.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Multiple parties may be responsible in a medical malpractice claim, such as:

  • Doctors and surgeons
  • Nurses or anesthesiologists
  • Hospitals and surgical centers
  • Pharmacists or laboratories
  • Radiologists and imaging centers

An experienced Pasadena medical malpractice attorney can help identify all liable parties and build a case against each of them. These claims often involve large-scale investigations and negotiations – and, if necessary, taking the case to trial.

What Damages Can You Recover?

If your malpractice case is successful, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Loss of income or earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term rehabilitation costs
  • Home modifications or assistive equipment
  • Wrongful death damages if a loved one died due to negligence

There are caps on non-economic damages in California medical malpractice cases, but there is no limit on economic damages like lost wages and medical bills. Working with a Pasadena medical malpractice lawyer who understands how to maximize your compensation is essential.
